Alexander Albon is going to drive in the DTM next season. For which team the British Thai will drive remains a secret. The old team mate of Max Verstappen will remain connected to Red Bull Racing as test and reserve driver.

Red Bull announces this in a press release. Albon will not complete the entire DTM championship, because the 24-year-old driver will travel with Red Bull to all F1 weekends. So if there is an overlap between the racing classes, Albon will have to go to the Deutsche Tourenwagen-Masters.

"The driver with whom Albon will alternate in the DTM will be announced at a later stage, as will the team and the car make," reports the Austrian racing team. Red Bull has not given a date on which more information will be given.
